Combine Unchecked Power with Ideological Zealotry and You Get …

You get awful results. You get the Inquisition. You get Stalin’s purges. You get the Canadian medical establishment.

What?

Yes. Read this Brownstone Institute article by Dr. Clayton J. Baker. A Canadian doctor, Kulvinder Kaur, faces severe financial difficulties because she dared to question the government’s authoritarian edicts during the Covid episode. Baker writes,

There is a great purge occurring in the medical establishment, a purge that runs along strict ideological and ethical lines. The issue of Covid-era “misinformation” is the main pretext for this purge, but there is no reason to believe it will stop there. And although the American medical system is the most Pharma-captured and Deep State-riddled medical system in the world, this purge is by no means limited to the United States.

What about Dr. Kaur?

Baker continues:

Dr. Kaur faces imminent financial ruin at the hands of the Canadian court system, which has imposed a punitive $300,000 “cost order” upon her, due by the end of March 2024. This is in addition to other legal expenses she has incurred since the beginning of the Covid lockdowns. Dr. Kaur’s cardinal sin was speaking out against the harsh lockdowns imposed upon citizens of Ontario, where she practices medicine, treating mostly immigrant families and other poor members of the population.

This case speaks volumes about the way our professions have succumbed to the power-mad “progressives” who can’t tolerate having anyone doubt their wisdom. It seems that they know they can’t win on the merits of their arguments and therefore resort to brute force. We are seeing this same thing around the world, an ugly omen of things to come.
